2023 International Symposium on Structural Integrity and 17th International Conference on Engineering Structural Integrity Assessment (ISSI2023–ESIA17)

The China Structural Integrity Consortium's flagship 2023 International Symposium on Structural Integrity (ISSI2023) will be held on May 22–25, 2023 in conjunction with FESI's flagship 17th International Engineering Structural Integrity Assessment Conference (ESIA17). The venue is The Lowry which is situated in the heart of Greater Manchester's dynamic new waterfront development MediaCityUK, Salford. An international hub for innovation and technology, the complex is named after the iconic local artist Laurence Stephen Lowry (1887–1976).

SCOPE AND TOPICS

Each of the four days will commence with a series of plenary presentations by internationally recognised speakers, drawn from the industry, business and academic communities.

We invite oral and poster presentations from designers, manufacturers, operators and users, regulators, academia, technology support, and supply chain organisations. These relate to the assurance of structural integrity in relation to safe, economic and reliable solutions across the engineering structural integrity communities with their associated environmental impact. Please submit an abstract.
